ABSTRACT
A molding for attachment to a vehicle includes a core member having a plurality of longitudinally spaced clip members and apertures between the clip members. An outer layer is extruded about the core member. The core member is formed to a predetermined configuration and presents an cuter surface having ridges corresponding to clip members and valleys corresponding to the apertures. A cover layer covers the outer layer to fill the valleys to form a smooth continuous planar outer surface.

Description
1322~18 SNOOTN FLEXIB~E F~ANGE COVER
BACRGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to flange or edge covers. More particularly, the present invention r~lates to glass run channels adapted for attachment to an automotive vehicle by means of flange or edge covers.
Glass run channels with flange finishers are used in the manufacture of automotive vehicles. One method of fabricating such glass run channels uses a metal core in the form of a strip which is slotted to form a plurality of longitudinally spaced members with apertures therebetween.
An elastomeric material is extruded about the metal core which i5 then processed into a predetermined configuration such as into a U-shape. Often the elastomeric material sinks or falls in the apertures between the individual spaced metal members. This presents an outer surface having a series of ridges corresponding to the members and valleys corresponding to the apertures. This is commonly referred to as the "hungry horse" effect or appearance. The aesthetic appearance of a flange cover exhibiting the hungry horse is not desirable since it does not provide a smooth continuous planar outer surface.
: ~UMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Generally speaking, the present invention provides a flange cover for attachment to a vehicle flange comprising:
a core member having a plurality of spaced clip members having apertures therebetween; an outer layer disposed about LCD: sd ~

1~22~18 the core member and filling the apertures, the core member formed to a predetermined configuration and the outer layer ha~ing an uneven outer surface having ridges corresponding to the clip members and valleys corresponding to the apertures between the clip members; and a cover layer over the outer layer filling the valleys, the outer surface of the cover layer presenting a smooth continuous generally planar surface.
The present invention also provides a method of making a flange cover for attachment to a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: forming a core member having a plurality of longitudinally spaced clip members and a plurality of apertures between the clip members; e~truding an outer layer of elastomeric material about the core member, forming an outer surface having ridges corresponding to the clip members and valleys corresponding to the apertures;
bending the core member and outer layer to a predetermined configuration; grinding the ridges of at least a portion of the outer layer to a height less than their original height;
and extruding a cover layer about the ground outer layer portion and forming a smooth continuous planar outer surface.
Accordingly, the subject invention presents a relatively smooth continuous planar outer surface. This improves the aesthetic appearance while eliminating the hungry horse effect. Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTIoN OF THE INVENTIoN
A conventional flange coYer for attachment to a vehicle (not shown) is generally shown at 10 in Figure 1. me cover 10 includes a core member. 12 having a plurality of longitudinally spaced clip members 14. As best shcwn in Figure 2, core member 12 includes apertures 16 formed between the clip members 14. An outer layer 18 of elastomeric material is disposed about the core member 12. The core me~ber 12 is bent to a predetermined configuration such as an "S" shape. The outer layer 18 presents an outer surface 20 having valleys 22 corresponding to the apertures 16 between clip members 14. As illustrated in Figure 2, the molding has a "hungry horse" appearance.
As ~hcwn in Figure 5, a hungry horse effect can also occur in an alternative way during forming of cover 12. AS shown in Figure 5 outer surface 20 has ridges 23 instead of valleys corresponding to the apertures 16 between clip members 14. Ridges 23 can occur, for example, when there is more pressure on one side 1322~18 of the core than the other during extrusion of elastomeric material.
In contrast to the abcve "hungry horse" flange coYers, a flexible flange cover of the subject mvention is generally shown at 30 in Figure 3. The molding 30 includes a core member 32 having a plurality of longitudinally spaced clip members 34. Clip members 34 are spaced apart, thereby having apertures 36 therebetween.
Flange cover 30 includes an outer layer 38 disposed a~out the core me~ber 32. The core nember 32 is formed by bending to a predetermined configuration, such as the "S" shape shown in Figure 4.
DuG m g processing valleys may occur at 42. However, in accordance with the method of the present invention, a smooth outer surface is provided by covering the outer layer 38 at surface portion 46 with a cover layer 44 of elastomeric material which fills the valleys and forms a smooth continuous planar outer surface 40. Cover layer 44 can be comprised of, for example, polypropylene or polyethylene. Cover layer 44 has a thickness greater than the depth of the valleys 44. Thus, the "hungry horse"
~ppearance is eliminated.
Accordingly, a method is provided of making a flange cover for attachment to a vehicle flange including the steps of forming a aore member 32 having a plurality of longitudinally spaced clip members 34 with a plurality of apertures 36 between the clip nemb~rs 34; extruding an outer layer 38 of elastomeric material about the core member 32 optionally grinding the outer layer 38 to reduce the height of any ridges thereon and extruding a 1322~18 cover layer 44 over the outer layer to for~ a smooth continuous planar outer surface 40.
Obviously, many mLdifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the disclosure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
